“Director Xi, your drawing of that pig is really good!”
Mu Yuchen’s voice floated into her ears followed by Li Si’s cheerful laughter.
Xi Xiaye was stunned for a moment before turning back. Li Si was staring at a certain direction on the ground. Following his line of sight, her whole body trembled and her face turned red!
A drawing had fallen right beside Mu Yuchen’s feet. On the paper, there was a pig, a snake, and a woman holding throwing knives. The pig seemed pretty realistic with a knife plunged right into its heart. The name “Han Yifeng” was written right above it while the snake was cut into half with the name “Xi Xinyi” scrawled above it. The woman who seemed like a queen was stepping on the snake and below her were the words “Queen Xi Xiaye”.’
It had probably fallen out of her folder just now.
It was true that she had drawn the pig, but the snake, the woman, and the names were all added by Su Nan who had flipped through her drawings the day she came back. On a whim, she just added all the extra stuff.
Xi Xiaye really want to disappear at that moment. She quickly rushed over to pick up the drawing, but —
A large hand was quicker than hers and picked the drawing up first.
“Give it back!” Xi Xiaye’s expression turned flustered and regretful as Mu Yuchen took the drawing. She saw him shoot her a mischievous look and she started to get angry.
“Mu Yuchen! Give it back!”
She tiptoed and tried to grab it, but he raised his hand and she could not reach it at all.
Mu Yuchen was over 180cm tall while Xi Xiaye was just over 160cm. Her height barely reached his chin, so of course, she could not have reached the drawing if he raised his hand.
“I didn’t expect your drawing to be pretty good, Your Royal Highness? Xi Xiaye?”
Mu Yuchen smiled and shot a glance at Xi Xiaye; it was an odd and childish look.
Xi Xiaye was really frustrated as she glared at him and her face became even redder. Li Si’s laughter was not helping the situation. The perfect image she had been trying to hold up was going to be ruined!
A sudden call saved her from this embarrassing situation.
She took out her phone and saw the name “Su Nan” appear on the screen.
Xi Xiaye quickly tapped the phone and answered the call. Su Nan’s sweet voice came through accompanied by a slight tone of anger and worry. “Xiaye! It’s me!”
“What’s up?”
Xi Xiaye frowned when she heard that Su Nan’s tone did not sound right. “Did Ruan Heng look for you?”
“It’s not about him and me. Xi Xiaye, didn’t you look at the messages I sent you? I’ve been calling you and you didn’t pick up. Where did you go?”
Su Nan started complaining and she sounded as if she had just eaten a bomb.
“What messages? I left my phone in the office. What’s the matter?”
“I made an appointment for you tomorrow. He’s pretty good overall. He’s a son of my father’s good friend who just came back from abroad and is a Masters degree holder. I used to play with him when we were kids. He’s quite tall and good-looking… I don’t care! You have to come out and meet him tomorrow!”
Su Nan started to ramble on and on. Her loud voice was especially clear within the enclosed space and Xi Xiaye could not help but move the phone further away from her ears.
“Are you listening to me?” Su Nan asked when she did not hear any response from Xi Xiaye.
Xi Xiaye put her palm over her forehead. Just as she was about to reply, Su Nan interrupted her, “Xiaye, I just saw that cheating pair near Hospital T. I’m really mad at their lovey-dovey acts. I overheard that they are getting engaged soon. Xiaye, don’t you feel like turning the tables around? Get married to an exceptional man before their marriage! Show them how good you can be and reign at the top! I’m just… so… frustrated!”
Su Nan could not help but berate them as she thought of their faces.
Engaged?
Xi Xiaye’s chest felt weighed down and her facial expression froze as well.
“Right, Xiaye, are you going back for your grandfather’s birthday this weekend? I think you shouldn’t. You might get disgusted when you see their faces!” Su Nan huffed.
Xi Xiaye took a light inhalation. As she remembered Deng Wenwen and Yue Lingsi’s attitude back at the hospital, she put up a cold smile and her tone was chilly. “Why not? It’s Grandfather’s birthday. Of course, I’ll go back! They should be the one hiding, not me.”
“But… I’m worried about you. Who knows what that witch will do?!” Su Nan’s tone softened as she was genuinely worried.
Xi Xiaye smiled and her voice became gentler as well. “Thank you, Su Nan. It’s been a long time since I’ve gone back. I should go back even if it’s just to take a look at Grandfather. I have to go back to the Chen residence tomorrow. I’ve got something to do.”
“Got it, I’ll reschedule the appointment then. Please be careful on your own. Give me a call if there’s anything. I’m just worried that you’ll feel upset when you saw that cheating couple!”
“Mmm.”
Xi Xiaye hung up and she unconsciously clenched the documents she was holding with a bitter smile on her face.
